Children falling sick shortly after school reopens? Paediatrician Dr Lokesh Mahajan shares how parents can reduce risk

Schools create a hotspot for infections as children share desks, books, and indoor spaces with 35–50 students daily.

Dr Lokesh Mahajan of Marengo Asia Hospitals, Faridabad, explains that children encounter new viruses after limited holiday exposure, not due to poor immunity.

Parents can reduce risk through proper nutrition to safeguard kids against infections.
